College students held on sedition charge
Malappuram (Ker), Feb 22 Two college students were
arrested here on sedition charges for allegedly putting up
"anti-national" posters seeking independence for Kashmir and
Manipur, police said Friday.
The duo-Mohammed Rinshad (20) and Mohammed Farris (19),
pursuing graduation at the Government College Malappuram, were
arrested following the complaint of the principal, they said.
According to police, the students, under the aegis of an
outfit 'Radical Students Forum', had allegedly pasted the
posters on the portico of the college campus.
The complaint was lodged after the students told the
principal that they stood by the posters, which could be read
as "azadi for Kashmir and Manipur", a police official told
.

Both were charged under IPC section 124A (sedition),
he said, adding that they were produced before the magistrate
and remanded to police custody for four days. LGK RRT
